The Eggs Nest in Highfalls ,NY

birthday I ever had !My amazing Boyfreind and my super awesome daughters took me to one of my favorite resterants for brunch at The Eggs nest in Highfalls NY just outside of New Paltz.I Love the food the kooky folk art /gypsy /decore !I had the french onion soup, fish and chips served with a nice slice of toasted homade bannana bread .I love the unexpected way they fuse home cooking .The owner Mr.Richard Murphy is an amazing and full of life which is truly reflected in his restaurant which has been there for going on 40 years .Richard is a beautiful 60 something white haired flagrantly gay man adorned with a bright peyote colored rainbow sweater ,his shoes which were nice dress shoes he painted himself and bejeweled .He was draped with a lovely chartruse silk scarf with fringe !The man exudes light love happiness and of course creativity !He was genuinely delighted when I presented him with one of my clay baby Buddha necklace (He has an amazing collection of buddha statues at the resterant )

About Me

I am an artist residing in a 300 year old farmhouse in Poughkeepsie NY.I actually Live on cream street...172 Cream street to be exact ..apparently my house used to be a dairy farm until the 1940's.I moved here in 2005 to escape the chaos of the city for the serenity of the country.Since then La Chateau Cream seems to be a vortex and attracts a myriad of artists ,bitches unwanted pets ,unwanted artists ,freaks, kooks, college kids,winners, losers, lovers, haters, lost souls, rockstars and everything in between.
This blog is about the characters that seem to pass through Le Chateau Cream every so often. Also my journey as an artist. The art I am making... things I love somethings I hate ,what I am up to about town ect.
some of my art mediums include ...I make artisan jewelry ,I am a wire sculptor,I paint ,I do professional Indian bridal henna..I have in the past and intend on working with textiles clay ...I seem to be possessed by an art demon always looking for new ways to manifest!
